Panic is like the perfect boss key for Firefox. It will not just prevent you from getting into an embarrassing situation but boss may even leave your office cubicle totally impressed.
You press a keyboard shortcut and all website tabs open inside Firefox will close automatically.
To give boss an impression that you weren’t wasting time, you can configure Panic to replace all open tabs with a single work-related website like your company’s intranet homepage or any other web page.
Get Panic [Firefox add-on] - Please note that Panic will close all open websites not just hide them from view by minimizing Firefox. Thanks Pratham.

When you design a add-in it must be perfect. Panic should have saved all the open windows. These windows should be back with another shortcut.
But always something is better than nothing..

I would love to write one. Just need some support guys. Will you be there..?

@Arun I don’t think he was actually suggesting you write one, I think he was indirectly tell you you’re being rude.

I have re-read my comment over and over. I always do that before posting comments, esp. in highly reputed blogs like Labnol. I am sorry if you guys found me rude. Its the basic right to express my honest views. Anyway Thanks for this mention. Will be careful in future

This is an awesome addon. As for recovering the closed tabs. Simply look into your history then recently closed tabs. They should be there to reopen.
